That was just fine.
But a few things that went through my head:
Is Dave Stewart even an American citizen? I'm pretty certain he is not actually.
Same goes for Joss Stone.
Still it was all just fine (Forrest Whittaker miming was a little over the top).
Today is an extraordinary day. Today is an historic day. It will be something to tell my grandchildren that prior to President Obama's nomination, there had never been a african-american who had even come close to being nominated and have my grandchildren ask, "What's an african-american, Papaw?"
Yesterday, I felt a slight giddiness as I monitored the live-blogging on the roll call and read that Obama had been nominated by acclimation. It was something to know that the primary campaign was absolutely, finally over. It was something to know that there was no way that Clinton could steal it away. I felt relieved and excited that not only was history made, but that Barack Obama, a wise man, is now the person I want to support.
Though across the nation, there are probably 300 million slightly to widely different opinions about the state of our nation, our world even, for all of us, this is a notable day whether we like Obama, hate Obama, feel indifferent to Obama. We should all see this as a turning point in history for after today, this kind of history can never be made again.
